Viola Davis obtains coveted EGOT status

During the 2023 Grammy Awards staged in Los Angeles on Sunday night, The Woman King actress was awarded the prize for Best Audio Book, Narration & Storytelling Recording for her memoir Finding Me. Reflecting on the honour during her acceptance speech, Viola expressed her delight at securing EGOT - an acronym for the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards – designation. "It has just been such a journey. I just EGOT! Oh, my God. I wrote this book to honour the six-year-old Viola, to honour her, to honour her life, her joy, her trauma, her everything."
